Before we get going on the video updates for Love and Other Drugs, there is the good news today that Jake Gyllenhaal has been shortlisted for Favourite Action Star and Prince of Persia for Favourite Action Movie at the People's Choice Awards 2011. You can vote here and you can vote a lot - so do!
And now on with the Love and Other Drugs Love Fest and more videos from the last week. Thanks to PoPSugar for sending me the video below.
And there's a lot more where that came from. Here are some more new interviews with a rather lovely couple.
Here is a video from Extra with more talk about the steamy scenes. And you can see Jake and Anne wish Mary Hart a happy birthday at the end of this link.
And finally...
The pictures in this post are courtesy of BBMISwear's Partner-in-Crime who got some great shots of Jake, Anne and Ed on the AFI Fest stage last Thursday. Many thanks to her for sharing them with us!
And finally finally...
More adventures on the way! I can't say anything about it yet so stay tuned!

Hey, WDW! Great post with more great videos and photos! Tell Jake I said hello when you get to see him. ;)
Susan
Jake's and Anne's interviews have been an enjoyment so far. :)
Thanks for the great pics from the AFI premiere.
I found a review from B.0. mag. which is negative. I hope more positive reviews will emerge.

OMG! Jake and Anne are so incredibly sweet and comfortable with each other!!! It's just amazing! They neeeeeeeeeed to do more movies with each other! And I think they need to do other things with each other as well... :D :D :D Sorry, but I can dream, can't I?
(LOL, my word: downi... How did this word verification thing know???)
Hi!
In the first interview Jake said something like
"I really hope that the audience members will leave thinking - I really want that in my life and I either have that in my life or I don't have it or I want it - "
That's the feeling I get when watching BBM...

I have to repeat myself, but all the interviews are so lovely. I can't say anything about Jake-Anne on-screen LAOD chemistry as long as I don't see the movie. But their real life, at least promotion chemistry is so huge, that is almost unbelievable.
That interview where they tell 4 good things about each other is so sweet and of course they don't say anything shallow but go deeper.
I like all the others very much - EXTRA about the steamy scenes - great! And Andrew Freund' interview - so nice. "The movie is much better than a trailer!" (says Jake) Hahahaha - I hope so! I watched the trailer so many times already. I think it is my favourite, no 1 trailer, so far.
Thanks Susan! And I'll be sure to ;)
Hi there JF! They really have. There are lots of positive reviews but not everyone can like every film. I can't understand why anyone would not like a film that features a naked Jake?
Uli! Love that! Totally agree - they're so so comfortable together - this could be the continuation of a longterm movie relationship that we're gonna enjoy for years. I really really hope so.
I know exactly what you mean, Fie :)
Thanks so much for the links, Mermon - you've been so great, helping me out. I have loved these videos of Jake and Anne together.
I’m commenting before watching any of the videos posted but I know I won’t be able to do fully until the weekend and had some things I wanted to comment on from recent posts so I’m here anyway! I had to mention that I laughed at the assumption that *someone* might like the Hey Lisa clip! Did I mention he says Lisa 6 times in the movie?! And I’m so glad everyone is loving the various film clips now released – aren’t they wonderful? I have been dying to mention the “I love you” scene but didn’t want to spoil for anyone. Love it!
A shout out to Mermon who I have to thank again for your sweet comments about my latest adventure with Jake. You sound genuinely excited for me when you write and that just gets me so excited all over again! I wanted to answer the few questions you asked a few posts back. 1st, re: the songs in LAOD – I wish I could tell you more but typically the first few viewings of a Jake movie I am so focused on him I miss a lot of extra stuff like music! I can tell you that the song Beautiful Girl is not in the film (which is such a disappointment) and guessing I would say possibly none of the songs in the trailer are in the film. I am not 100% sure but I don’t remember any of the trailer music being in the film. One song that works great (a real fun scene right in the beginning) is Two Princes by The Spin Doctors. It goes so well and I just can’t wait for everyone here to see (and hear) this movie!
2nd, that question that WDW is right about – it comes up a lot – smell! I can tell you after being quite close to 'the man' on two occasions now is that he was not wearing cologne either time I was with him! I answered the question “what did he smell like?” for a few people after they read about that hug I got while on the Nailed set and I noticed right off he smelled clean. Just plain old clean – LOL! This stood out because it was a warm day in South Carolina and particularly hot on set so I wouldn’t have been surprised if the actors were uncomfortable and sweaty but he wasn’t - he smelled great! (This subject is making me laugh – but you asked so I thought I should answer)!! 3rd, how did it feel to be that close to Jake? I don’t know if there are words that can describe it – it’s an incredible feeling indeed! Mishandling the camera turned out to be a good thing - having to stay leaned up against him a little longer like that wasn’t exactly difficult to do – LOL! And having my face up against the most perfect scruff possible was the icing on the cake! (How funny after all our talk here about the face hair – it was absolutely perfect that night and I hope he continues trimming it to that exact length for the duration of the publicity tour). Sigh.
Well these topics are making me laugh but I wanted to make sure I answered your questions Mermon! One funny side story that I got a kick out of – we stopped at Lamill Coffee on Saturday and ended up sitting at a table next to Kirsten – she looked beautiful, by the way! I found this funny since when I was in Montreal earlier this year I was in a cafe and Kirsten came in shortly after me and now I’m doing the same in L.A. months later and there she is again! I don’t know what it is about me bumping into her but she seems to be doing great based on what I have seen on these two occasions. Just thought I’d share!
It's great to see my partner's AFIFest pictures posted WDW - thanks! As I was telling you, I love the AFIFest Video you posted a few days ago with Jake coming to the front of the theater but if stops before he continues down the line hugging and patting the filmmakers on the back - it's too bad they missed that in the clip. He ended up right in front of us (to Ed's right) and I even saw myself on the video with camera in hand ready to get snapping! That has been one lucky camera these past couple of years!!
Sorry for the ultra-long comment...I had a lot to catch up on with still more to go. Can't wait for reports from London - whooowheee!!! :-)
they are SO comfortable together. I only wish they'd been single when they made this film. They are SO comfortable and perfect they'd be great as a couple in RL

WDW - you are very welcome. Thank you for the nice words.
BBMISwear! - you made my day! It's so nice of you to answer my questions.
I have to say I am disappointed about Beautiful Girl "missing" in the movie:( It was going so well with the trailer, I even have this song on my phone and like to walk with it getting in Jake' mood. Hm. Is it possible that you somehow didn't notice that? It so strange they used quite many songs in the trailer and they used different ones for the movie. What a surprise! At least we have Two Princes by The Spin Doctors - that's great! So we still know nothing about the soundtrack. Hahahaha.
Please, who will watch LAOD first, pay attention to the music and let us know.
I enjoy it very much that Jake smells clean and fresh. That's absolutely the best scent ever :)
Now we know why Anne was often so close to Jake during interviews.
I'm happy I asked you those questions, because you answered them so beautifully. Thank you very much again. And I wish you many encounters with Jake and maybe some with Kirsten again :)
Jake and Anne are adorable together. Jake has been talking about wanting babies and Anne was talking about it too in an interview. They should just hook up and make a baby together. :D
Wow Jake and Anne's close friendship and colleague relationship shines through these interviews.
The 'four things' question was very telling.
I really enjoyed these clips.
Cheers
Tui
Loving the Love train and now he's here in blighty I feel somehow happy. At home feeling. Sorry for myself. Had a freak accident tripped over a box at work and now can't walk properly. So this Jake love-in with Annie and the crew is most welcome. I watch these videos and am so envious of all those people who were able to hve a conversation with him and connect and just be in his company. He seems like so much fun. There is no bigger turn on for me than intelligent conversation and someone that makes me laugh. Irresistible :D
So WDW you tease us again with another adventure. No hints? Ok guess we gotta wait.
WDW asked me to drop by and say 'Hi' on her behalf and thank you for the comments. She has a really busy day and can't get internet access at the moment. I expect she'll be back later to chat.
Have a good day everyone. xx
WDW - have a great day today!
Source Code Pre-Release
http://www.chud.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3070347 - it looks like someone was lucky to see "Source Code" but is not allow to talk about it. We are surrounded by secrets. With Jake in London - secret, with "Harry Potter" after screening - secret, with Source Code - secret.
New beautiful pictures of Jake

You're welcome Mermon! It's always a pleasure because I get to relive everything. I've been getting similar questions from people on some of the BBM forums so I think Jake fans tend to think alike (especially with that "what does he smell like question?" - ha ha)!
Thanks for the update Ruby - I cannot wait to hear more about WDW's day!!! ;-) *trying to be patient*
BBMISwear, I really enjoyed your report of the AFI. Thanks for answering the questions for all of us.
Ruby, thanks for the update.
;o)
Thanks so much for all these treasures, WDW & Lisa's Partner in Crime! ;-) And thank you for so many new details on the film and your encounter with Jake, Lisa. Great to read!
We've discussed before how differently Jake reacts to good interviewers and bad/mediocre interviewers. Well, there you have it! :) Andrew Freund vs. The Guy with the Red Tie. Two totally different interviews and interviewers, and in reaction two totally different Jakes.
And yes, I can't get enough of Jake & Anne as well. :-D
Hello! I'm on the bus on the way home from London (with wifi) after an incredible day. I can't say much about it due to embargoes but I can say I was at the press conference in London today (and the screening) and Jake was fabulous, beautiful and amazing. As was Anne :) sorry for the absence today - it's been incredible. And wonderful to see Anouska!
What a day!!
Hey!!! I am so glad that you had a wonderful day - and can't wait for your story from the press conference once the embargoes will be lifted!!
Have a good trip back home - and get some rest! I guess a day like that somehow needs to be "digested"... :D :D :D
Hi WDW! After all this excitement you need a good rest at home. I may only imagine how happy and exhausted you are.
I can't wait for your report. I don't understand embargo at LAOD screening reporting. It was so many reviews already and so many detailed interviews with the movie stars and director, that I think there are no secrets any more. But maybe I'm wrong. Like we still don't have a clue about the soundtrack.
I wonder if you had a chance to ask any question and if so, how was it like? Hm, tell us how long do we have to wait? Till 24 of November? Lucky you!
I read on the other blog - from Twitter, that Jake was not in the best mood on press junket, at least for some time. Maybe some journalist asked him some forbidden question? It must be very tiring things to do, so many interviews in two days and usually the same or similar questions. That was the case with POP promotion. We could hear the same answers said with different energy, different humour etc.I loved all of them.
Hi everyone! Back home - and shattered. A very long and wonderful day. I'm sorry I'm not allowed to talk about the film or what was said at the press conference. The embargo is because of the release in the UK (which is 29 December and not 31 December). Jake seemed tired but he was perfectly polite, just a bit quiet. I think the problem is, as you say Mermon, the same questions get asked a lot. He was absolutely knockout gorgeous, as was Anne.
Right, gonna eat something and have a stiff drink and relax. I've been absent all day so I'll be in the members lounge of the forum for a chat later if anyone's interested :D
I guess if Jake isn't going full steam then people think he's not in a good mood. Of course he has a right to not be in a good mood just like every other person on earth, but as WDW said he might of been tired and just got to the point of hearing the same things over and over again and kind of hit the wall with that.
Anne probably hadn't been there yet.
Jake has more interviews to do next week and after some rest am sure he'll be ready to go again.
Welcome home again, WDW. :) I'm thrilled you had such a wonderful day! Don't worry, we can be very patient if we want to. *angelic smile* A little waiting for something good has never hurt anybody. ;)
Now you relax, put your feet up and relive all the precious moments of today. *hands you a cocktail*
Hi 19:48! He was gorgeous :D And very funny!
Thanks so much Lady Ekster! I missed your comment as we posted at the same time :D
I was suspicious that you were at the press conference. Lucky girl!
Congratulations!
Thanks Monica! And it was fab and Jake was beautiful and I was in the front row :D
How many times have you met Jake, WDW? How did you get into the press conference? Was it open to fans?
too bad you didn't get close enough to Jake to smell him (wink)
I noticed in some of the American interviews Jake looked tired. Imagine going through a press junket being interviewed over and over asked the same thing over and over again. It can weigh on you.
AND I wonder if he had any jetlag. I don't think they had much time to rest before they started the interviews. I wonder if he returns to the US or if they will be going to another European country
sweetpea
Hi Sweetpea - No, it wasn't open for fans.
I was actually pretty close.
The TV interviews start next week so they'll be back in NYC soon enough.
Congrats on your wonderful day WDW! I know how these Jake Whirlwinds can wipe us out and then some (all very worth it of course) so relax and enjoy! Well we will just have to be patient for a full report but just knowing you were in the front row and how great he looked makes it easy to picture and imagine so that will have to do until you can give us the details. I must say he is looking good (understatement)on this publicity tour and he seems to be as charming as ever.
A toast to you and all your hard work - NO ONE deserved to be at that press conference more than YOU! So congrats and enjoy the buzz!
:-)
I think I understood finally that promotional tactic.
They will show all those interviews, pictures etc in the time after premiere, they will keep us exciting, though we would go to the theatres. They will just set us in the mood for LAOD.
If they would show us everything right know - emotions at the end of December would be on lower level. And I'm sure journalists will do anything possible to make us watch their interviews, to attract our attention. So when the right time will come the craziness will start :).
HellO WDW and everyone
Great news WDW - seeing the press conference - and Jake - up close. I am guessing your invitation to the press conference was a reward for your years of regular good quality blogging.
Can't wait to hear more.
Squee!
Cheers
Tui
Good Morning!
Jake was at Harry Potter premiere. We have few pictures on IHJ :)
Morning everyone! Back to reality *sigh*
Thanks BBMISwear! What a couple of weeks we've had! Jake looked absolutely stunning. I think this was actually the first time I'd seen him in 'normal' clothes (jeans etc) and not in a suit and he looked wonderful. I need to let it all sink in.
Hi Mermon - that's it exctly. They want to have the press etc when the film opens here. It'll give it buzz - there were some big papers there yesterday. It will!
Thanks so much Tui!
Morning Mermon :D
New post! I saw the Square yesterday in the pouring rain and there were loads of HP fans there already getting very wet...
